Alarms are sounding at Benfica. Alexander Bah left with forearm complaints at 17 minutes, after a collision with Paulo Henrique, the left-back of Marítimo. The encarnado defender remained on the ground for several minutes, with his arm immobilized, and had to be substituted by Jakub Kaminski, leaving directly for the locker rooms.
Should the injury prove to be serious, Marco Silva will have a big headache. This is because, after the departure of Amar Dedic to Newcastle, the only right-back in the Benfica squad is Daniel Banjaqui.
This is a scenario the coach had already foreseen. In Exclusivo Glorioso 1904, on August 25, it was revealed that Marco Silva was concerned about Benfica's depth for the right-back position, fearing having to depend on Fredrik Aursnes for the position should Bah suffer another physical problem.
The possibility of having to adapt Aursnes again to the right flank does not please the coaching staff. The Danish international is seen as an important piece of the squad, but his adaptation to the position is not the ideal solution for Benfica.
